"follow gluten free diet as much as possible" I think is the key here. Sounds like you are not consistent in eating gluten free. My input is that this needs to change to where you are totally gluten free on a consistent basis. Every lapse is a setback to healing. The goal should not be to eat a low gluten diet but to eat a gluten free diet. You need to get serious about this. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/the-gluten-free-diet-101-a-beginners-guide-to-going-gluten-free-r1640/

I agree with @trents  You'll have much better results with a no gluten diet. 

Also consider other sources that could possibly be sneaking in that may not be so obvious as eating it. I've had some surprise glutenenings by petting pets that eat gluten (they lick themselves and then you pet them, and then it's on your hands).

The doc that diagnosed me really emphasized that eyes, ears, nose, and throat all lead to the same place, so be aware of possible airborne gluten.  I got really sick feeding my neighbor's chickens (grains in the feed, the chickens kick it up and it's in the air, I breathe it in, nose drains down to stomach...). Also home projects got me, cutting plywood and demo of old plaster board that possibly have wheat in the glues that hold them together. 

It's not easy, but it does get easier.  You'll feel better with staying gluten free.

Gastrointestinal Beriberi symptoms are fatigue, nausea, stomach ache, abdominal pain, and unintended weight loss.  I know from personal experience.  My doctors weren't familiar with gastrointestinal beriberi.   It is caused by a deficiency in Vitamin B 1  Thiamine.   I took over-the-counter Thiamine supplements (Benfotiamine) and felt much better quickly.  Thiamine is water soluble (pee it away if not needed) and nontoxic.  It doesn't hurt to try.  A hot water bottle helps, too.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
